MARK TROY established ManaSota Films in 2012 to provide a community platform for Sarasota/Bradenton area actors and film makers. Mark began acting in 2009 and also wrote and directed his own film “The Lon Chaney Thing”, which has been screened at several film festivals.

The ManaSota Films Project was founded by Mark Troy of ManaSota Films & Heath Jordan of Approach Signal in 2013. The mission of the ManaSota Films Project is to create community productions showcasing local talent: film makers, writers, actors, directors, cinematographers, crews, editors and our beautiful Gulf Coast community. “There is a tremendous amount of interest, talent and experience among film makers and actors in the area. The ManaSota Films Project is tapping into these resources to create quality entertainment and also to provide a platform for those who would like to learn the various aspects of filmmaking.”
